Cattle Feeding Experiments. 



None of the protein concentrates proved as cheap as alfalfa 

 hay. It is intended that further data along these lines shall 

 be forthcoming. 



While the steers fed corn-and-cob meal required somewhat 

 less corn for a given gain, they could not be induced to eat 

 ay much as those fed shelled corn and the -same kind of rough- 

 ness. With shelled corn worth 62% cents per hundred, the 

 corn-and-cob meal returned a value of 65 cents per hundred 

 pounds of corn, not enough difference to pay for the grinding. 



THE 1904-05 EXPERIMENT. 



For purposes of comparison, the record of the experiment 

 conducted with two-year-old steers in 1905 and published in 

 Bulletin 90 is given below :
